The Utah Election.

SALT LAKE, Aug. 3.--Returns from the
general election on Monday are nearly all
in. The vote was the lightcst ever cast In
the territory for many years. 1ti.thought
that ia,ly 10 per cent. Of those registered
voted In close districts the Mormdhs cast
as high AS % per cent. Of their registration.
The Gcntiles elect five members Of tho
legislature, two from this city, two from
tho mining town Of Park City and ono
iron, the district including the mining
camps oi Bingham, Ophir, Stockton and
Tintic. The Normons elect 81 members
oi the legislature. The light vote is due
to the Acknowledgement OF poly ga'nists and
women and to the refusal Of many Nor.
mons ard Gentiles to take the test oath
prescribed by act Of congress. The Nor
mons almost unanimously voted TOR the
anti. polygamy state constitution.

WEATHER AND CROPS.

says: During the week the weather has been
warmer than usual from the Southern,
New England and Middle Atlantic States
westward to the Rocky Mountains, the
average daily excess being about three dc.
grces. During the week there has been
an excess Of rainfall in the States bo,der

in injury to the growing crops and retard.

Of rain and drought continues in the

IN all that section there has been less than

Lewis and Clarke'x First Map.

Bozrman Wflfarc: The Lewis and
Clarke expedition spent the winter of 1901
;in the Mandan country. During their
stay there, Captain Lewis compiled map
oitheir survey during the previous sum-
mer, but embraced in addition all the
country west to the Pacific ocean, sketched
from the best information be could obtain
from Indians and trappers. This map was
forwarded to Washington in the spring and
filed in the war department., copies being
sent to the houses Of congress. The map
was never published, being OF course super
seded by the map compiled by Captain
Clarke on the return Of the expedition.
But it has great interest to-day, because it
shows us Just how much, or rather how
little was known about the Rocky Noun.
tain country prior to the journey Of Lewis
and Clarke.
Photographic copy has just been
shown to us by Peter Koch. Some years
ago he found reference to this map in
number OF the "Medical Repository for
!So6, monthly scientific journal then pub
lished at New York. Tracing the matter
up, he found the only copy Of the map NOW
IN existence is the original, sent 10 the war
department., and through the courtesy of
Arnold Hague, of the L. 5. Geological
Survey, he has just received Il fine photo
graphic copy of the original.
